Analysis

What drives eviction risk in Oak Creek

The voucher gap is 41.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. What pushes it up most is court filing pressure at 9.6/10.

Sitting well above the midpoint, rent-regulation exposure reads 9.6/10. On the high side, supply constraint reads 9.1/10.

Food insecurity runs 5.7% against 17.8% nationally. It sits 1.1 points below the Greenville County average of 4.1. Average gross rent is $1,844, 15% below the Five Forks average.

Inability to pay a utility bill runs 3.3% against 9.2% nationally. Utility arrears usually lead rent arrears by a month or two. On the national scale it lands near the 20th percentile of the 84,120 tracts scored.

At 7% renter-occupied this is predominantly owner territory, and comps have to be drawn from further out. Social vulnerability reads 1.3/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks.

Rent consumes only 13% of average household income of $165,391, an unusually wide affordability cushion. Statewide the SC average is 4.0, so this tract runs 1.0 points cooler.

Tract-level figures come from the ACS 5-year release and are rebuilt whenever that, the court-record feed, or the statutory ledger behind the score changes.
